The three teams - Woodley Hammers, Woodley Town FC and Woodley United - are set to combine and form one club for the start of next season.

The amalgamation took a further step towards coming into being after all three clubs held extraordinary meetings in recent weeks, and all meetings voting in favour of the switch.

Dave Pickup, chairman of the One Woodley Steering Committee, which is overseeing the amalgamation, spoke after Woodley Hammers' extraordinary general meeting on Monday.

He said: "February 2 is a historic day with all three clubs agreeing to play under Woodley United and further build upon the rich history of the existing clubs."

There are currently 36 teams between the three clubs providing football for men and women from pre-school to open age, while they also run a schools programme.

The amalgamation will better enable Woodley United FC to 'offer everyone in the community the opportunity to play, develop and grow through football, regardless of race, gender, age or ability,' and in so doing provide 'community-based football that is the envy of the footballing world.'
